England women vs India women, 2nd T20I, LIVE score and updates: Rana has been given the responsibility of bowling the final over. Can she hold nerve? Another wicket falls as Villiers departs after failing to reach the crease back off the second delivery. Ecclestone slaps the fourth delivery down the ground, Rana does well to get hand to it and save a boundary. She’s in some pace thereafter but continues to bowl. Just five off the over. DONE AND DUSTED! India win by eight wickets. A fine comeback from the visitors. The series is levelled at 1-1. All eyes on the decider now. Preview, 2nd T20I: It’s a must win game for Harmanpreet Kaur and Co if they wish to keep themselves alive in the three-match T20I series. After showing tremendous grit, India managed to pull off a draw in the one off Test. Moving onto limited-overs, India lost the three-match ODI series 2-1 and this was followed by a loss in the opening T20I encounter by 18 runs by virtue of the DLS method. India will heavily rely on their openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana to do bulk of the scoring in the batting department. [caption id=“attachment_9797231” align=“alignnone” width=“640”]  England’s Danni Wyatt in action during the first T20I against India in Northampton. AP[/caption] All eyes will once again be on skipper Harmanpreet, who is in the middle of woeful run with the bat. The bowlers would want to put on a much improved show, especially at the death, having conceded 177 in the first T20I. England seem to have all bases covered at the moment and skipper Heather Knight will be mighty pleased with how they have gone about their business, especially in the limited-overs matches thus far. Teams (from): India: Harmanpreet Kaur (captain) Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Richa Ghosh, Harleen Deol, Sneh Rana, Taniya Bhatia, Indrani Roy, Shikha Pandey, Pooja Vastrakar, Arundhati Reddy, Poonam Yadav, Ekta Bisht, Radha Yadav, Simaran Dil Bahadur. England: Heather Knight (captain), Tammy Beaumont, Katherine Brunt, Freya Davies, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Tash Farrant, Sarah Glenn, Amy Jones, Nat Sciver, Anya Shrubsole, Mady Villiers, Fran Wilson, Danni Wyatt.

England would be kicking themselves. They were 106/3 at a stage in the game and then collapsed to 137/8. The fall of wickets in clusters stemmed the flow of runs as well. And in the end, they fell short by just eight runs. Poonam Yadav didn’t give the batters any pace to work with and picked up two key wickets. She was ably assisted by Deepti Sharma. 4 run-out dismissals there too, how often do we see that? Even keeping those aside, India were brilliant in the field. Showed great awareness and athleticism in the fielding department.
The series is levelled at 1-1. They can’t win the multi format series but can still go on to clinch the T20I series if they win the decider.
That’s it from us today, but do join us on 14th July as we’ll bring you the coverage of the series decider. Goodnight!
Deepti Sharma is the Player of the Match for her all-round performance (24* and 1/18)!
Deepti: When me and Harry di were playing, the talk was about having a good partnership. My plan was to bowl maximum dot balls and bowl in a partnership as a bowing unit, cutting down on boundaries.
What a tour this youngster’s having at the moment
Sneh Rana has starred at the end in the only three matches India Women have not lost on this tour.

Twice with bat. Once with ball.
What a comeback.
Coming from someone who knows a thing or two about incredible comebacks
Top top effort from the girls to win this one. England needed just 33 in 30 balls with 6 wickets in hand and were cruising along but the Indian girls showed amazing skills and bowled superbly. This is an amazing win, so proud of the girls @BCCIWomen #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/GS116G9rnr

After 20 overs,England Women 140/8 ( Sophie Ecclestone 5 , Sarah Glenn 1)
Rana has been given the responsibility of bowling the final over. Can she hold nerve? Another wicket falls as Villiers departs after failing to reach the crease back off the second delivery. Ecclestone slaps the fourth delivery down the ground, Rana does well to get hand to it and save a boundary. She’s in some pace thereafter but continues to bowl. Just five off the over.
DONE AND DUSTED! India win by eight wickets. A fine comeback from the visitors. The series is levelled at 1-1. All eyes on the decider now.
After 19 overs,England Women 135/7 ( Sophie Ecclestone 3 , Mady Villiers 1)
Penultimate over of the innings and Poonam does a fantastic job, conceding only four runs and scalping another important wicket, that of Brunt. 14 needed off 6. It’s going down to the wire.
After 18 overs ,England Women 131/6 (Ecclestone 2, Katherine Brunt 4)
Sharma continues. Drops Ecclestone, who hits it straight back at the bowler off the final delivery. Tidy over, nevertheless. Just six off it. England need 18 from 12 balls. Game on!
After 17 overs ,England Women 125/6 (Ecclestone 0, Katherine Brunt 3)
Poonam returns to the attack. Katherine Brunt joins Jones at the crease after Dunkley’s departure. The leggie bowls with a lot of heart, tossing up most of her deliveries, and not giving the batters any pace to work with. And it pays as Jones tries to muscle one but holes out to Rana at square leg. No timing there whatsoever. Three runs and a wicket off the over.
India’s fielding certainly has impressed!
I cannot remember the last time I saw an Indian team field like this in two consecutive matches.

After 16 overs,England Women 122/5 ( Amy Jones (W) 10 , Katherine Brunt 1)
Five overs to here. Can well go down to the wire, provided India pick up a few wickets here. Sharma continues. And India get a wicket in that over courtesy another run out as Dunkley departs. Six runs and a wicket off the over.
After 15 overs,England Women 116/4 ( Amy Jones (W) 7 , Sophia Dunkley 2)
Bowling change as Harleen Deol, right-arm off break, comes into the attack. Really a gamble here, bringing on a part timer with England keeping the run rate in check. And England don’t miss out, collecting 10 runs off it, including a massive six by Jones.
Knight certainly won’t let Deepti forget about the dismissal
Heather Knight is FUMING. Good luck to Deepti Sharma who will be playing under her at London Spirit in The Hundred 😬😬😬 #ENGvIND

After 14 overs,England Women 106/4 ( Amy Jones (W) 0 , Sophia Dunkley 0)
Sharma returns to the attack. Huge appeal for LBW off the second against Beaumont, the umpire denies, but India promptly go up for a review. No spike there, but the impact is umpire’s call. Later in the over, England take a review as Beaumont gets beaten while aiming for a sweep. This time, she gets trapped LBW and it’s a lost review for England. Knight is unlucky off the last and is found short her crease as the ball hits Sharma’s feet and goes on to hit the stumps. Superb over, two wickets and just a run off it.
After 13 overs,England Women 105/2 ( Tammy Beaumont 59 , Heather Knight (C) 29)
Reddy returns to the attack. Gives way too much width to Knight off the second and pays the price, getting peppered through point for a four. Concedes another four, but is unlucky on that occasion. Beaumont was looking for the sweep but top edged one over the wicketkeeper. 13 runs off the over, costly one for India.
After 12 overs,England Women 92/2 ( Tammy Beaumont 51 , Heather Knight (C) 24)
So runs continue to come at a brisk pace for England. They’re well in control of the chase, with eight wickets in hand. The rotation of strike has been fantastic. Not in this over though, just two runs off it.
After 11 overs,England Women 90/2 ( Tammy Beaumont 50 , Heather Knight (C) 23)
Radha returns to the attack. 10 runs off the over, including two fours from the blade of Knight. Two important milestones for England in the over – the fifty run stand between Knight and Beaumont, and a half century for Beaumont. 10 runs off the over.
After 9 overs,England Women 74/2 ( Tammy Beaumont 47 , Heather Knight (C) 11)
Bowling change for India as Deepti Sharma, right-arm off break, comes into the attack. A wide off the fifth and then Beaumont loses the grip of the bat completely and it falls out of her hands as she aims to nudge it towards deep mid wicket. 10 runs off the over.
After 9 overs,England Women 74/2 ( Tammy Beaumont 47 , Heather Knight (C) 11)
Yadav continues. Beaumont pulls the first towards deep square leg for a triple, a single saved by Rana at in the deep as she put on a dive. Beaumont once again targets the deep square leg region off the fourth and this time collects a four. 10 runs off the over.
After 8 overs,England Women 64/2 ( Tammy Beaumont 40 , Heather Knight (C) 10)
So spin from both ends as Rana continues. Knight expertly employs the reverse sweep off the first to collect a boundary. It is followed by four singles and a double. Good rotation of strike, something India can learn from. 10 runs off the over.
After 7 overs, England Women 54/2 ( Tammy Beaumont 36 , Heather Knight 4)
Another bowling change as Poonam Yadav, right-arm leg break, takes the ball after the end of the powerplay. Just two runs off the over as the batters have to generate their own pace for runs.
After 6 overs, England Women 52/2 ( Tammy Beaumont 35 , Heather Knight 3)
Bowling change for India as Sneh Rana, right-arm off break, comes into the attack to bowl the final over of the powerplay. Width off the penultimate delivery, Beaumont swivels on her feet and pulls it towards square leg, but its only a double, thanks to the fielder in the region, who didn’t shy away from putting in a full length dive. Five runs off the over.
After 5 overs,England Women 47/2 ( Tammy Beaumont 30 , Heather Knight 3)
Reddy returns to the attack. Beaumont’s eyes light up as soon as she sees some width. This was visible on the second delivery of this over too as she cut it through point and collected a boundary. The batter fails to capitalise on a free hit off the fifth delivery and holes out to Harmanpreet in the deep on the leg side. Nine runs off the over.
